Luo Huian refused at once. The last thing she wanted was for her plan to go astray once again, that too with her watching everything unfold in front of her. She looked at the two children and said to the mers in the living hall, "You cannot keep these children. They are not dogs or cats that you can keep just because you want to. They have a parent who is their guardian, and they are legally his responsibility. You cannot just go ahead and keep them because you find them cute!"
The moment she finished speaking, Luo Huian knew that she had spoken the wrong words because the four mers turned to look at her as if she had committed a horrible crime.
"How can you say such a thing!?"
"Can't you see that they are scared?"
"This is truly too much! Just look at the scars that are on the arm of the little girl."
"Huian, I didn't expect such a thing from you."
